I Need Help

If you or someone you know is a survivor of sexual assault, domestic or dating violence, or stalking, you have options and people to support you. We strongly encourage you to contact a confidential victim advocacy program to talk about your needs and options.

In Laramie

The Albany County SAFE Projectoperates a 24-hour hotline for victims and survivors of sexual assault, domestic and dating violence, stalking, child abuse, and elder abuse. They provide crisis support, emergency shelter and material assistance, and advocacy and referrals. You can also drop by their office if you would like to talk to someone in person. 307-745-3556

The STOP Violence Program is an on-campus advocacy and education program. We work with victims and survivors of sexual assault, domestic and dating violence, and stalking. If you are a member of the campus community and would like information or just to talk, you can call us at the Dean of Students office 766-3296 or stop by Knight Hall 118 Monday through Friday, 9 am through 4 pm.

If you were hurt in Colorado, we recommend contacting a Colorado agency in addition to SAFE Project or STOP Violence. The laws are different in each state, and Colorado advocates will know more about the laws in Colorado. If you are unsure who to call, contact STOP Violence or SAFE. We can help you figure out who you should talk to.

In Wyoming

If you are in Wyoming outside of Albany & Laramie counties, you can contact the Wyoming Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violenceto get a referral to the service provider closest to where you are. The Coalition DOES NOT provide crisis intervention; they DO provide information and referrals. You can also contact STOP Violence for a referral to nearby assistance.

Nationally

If you are outside of Wyoming, or if you would like to talk to a service provider outside of Wyoming and Northern Colorado, you can call a national hotline.

Calling the National Domestic Violence Hotlinewill connect you to an advocate at a national center. That advocate will be able to talk to you about what is going on, and connect you to a local program if that is something that you want. 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or 1-800-787-3224 for TTY

Calling RAINNwill directly connect you to the nearest sexual assault service provider. However, RAINN also has a national online hotlinethat allows you to instant message with an advocate at a national center. 1-800-656-HOPE (4673)
